Scope of Work

What This Service Covers

We redraw supplied PDFs and scans as true CAD geometry: linework vectorized to stated dimensions, text and symbols recreated to your standards, layers organized per your conventions, and title blocks rebuilt on your templates. Anything illegible in the source is flagged in writing rather than guessed.

GeoDrafts provides conversion drafting only. Source documents remain the governing record; converted files are prepared for production use under your professional review.
